Holy the Firm

Inscribed by the author on the title-page. First Edition with dust jacket. 

In 1975 Dillard took up residence on an island in Puget Sound, in a wooden room furnished with "one enormous window. one cat, one spider, and one person." For the next two years she asked herself questions about time, reality, sacrifice, death and the will of God. In Holy the Firm she bears witness to the violent incursions of the Absolute into the wreck of space.
